External Links

twitman · January 2010

To have all external links open in new window
Go to lib/util.php

and find

$attrs = array('href' => $canon, 'title' => $longurl, 'rel' => 'external');

change to

$attrs = array('href' => $canon, 'title' => $longurl, 'rel' => 'external', 'target' => '_blank');

I prefer to use jQuery, if I need to open external links in new tabs. Something like this: http://snipplr.com/view/315/-jquery--target-blank-links/

Thanks for the tip!

twitman · January 2010

@and3k where exactly do you add that snippet? Example code please

and3k · January 2010

I don't have a running StautsNet copy, but I would put it somewhere with the other JavaScript on the bottom of the main template (not sure how that works in StatusNet). Something like this: http://dpaste.com/hold/146371/

I'd recommend creating a small plugin for this instead of updating your core copy. This way, you are less likely to run into conflicts when you pull in new updates.

See also http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-hyperlinks/#target-new to do this via CSS with supporting UAs.

csarven, I think that's a good idea. A plugin to do that should use jQuery.

@twitman i tried your suggestion but it didn't work. External links are still being loaded in the same window. Any clue as to why. I'm running the 0.9.0beta5

Hey guys, I'm new to StatusNet and it is an awesome system, Thx for the community. @ace @twitman When I googled, I found, Target attribute wont work with XHTML standards. :( I dont have much of a knowledge in programing (PHP/JS/JQuery), but manage to develop a Plugin using JQuery. I need the support of the community to test it and contribute back. @evan can u instruct me how can I upload it for the community usage. Thx guys.

@Beep Great question! If you could just start a page about it on the StatusNet wiki, that'd be a good first step.

csarven · March 2010

@Beep It'd be great if you can make a merge request using http://www.gitorious.org/statusnet . That'd be ideal. Otherwise, email it to me at csarven@status.net. I'll verify and add it in. Thanks.

@csarven i dont have any clue in merge request, can u advice me how to do it?

csarven · March 2010

@Beep I believe you can do that directly from the gitorious UI in your account.

I've pushed the OpenExternalLinkTarget plugin in 0.9.x.

@evan I am trying to activate the OpenExternalLinkTargetPlugin and i put this line into the config.php file

addPlugin('OpenExternalLinkTargetPlugin');

And it brings up this error.

Fatal error: Uncaught ServerException: [500]: Plugin OpenExternalLinkTargetPlugin not found. thrown in /home/user/sitename.com/lib/statusnet.php on line 67

Am i doing it wrong?

I am on 0.9.1

TweXXX · May 2010

Any news on this?

sati · May 2010

try addPlugin('OpenExternalLinkTarget');

TweXXX · May 2010

@sati , thanks that works perfectly.
